I'm of a mind to think this feature was scrapped.
I think this "content" will be scrapped because of the provoking thoughts of "omg people are going to get CLAIM of Ifrit, we can't have that in this with one group getting claim, here comes the competition vs FC bots and RMTs." After all it's not content for "everyone" if a Primal is locked out for a week or 2, the original estimates to how long a FC would control the "card." Also the likeliness of the Primal summons being way too overpowered when it came to the things they are allowed to be in, PvP for example in Duty Finder would pretty much mean the other team would auto-lose if the Primal was indeed as powerful as it should. I really would like for a roaming Primal with claim ala NMs and HNMs, but the current environment and way the game is going it just goes against everything. But yeah I'd rather from a Lore and content standpoint, just scrap it.
